Behavioral Medicine Toolkit We are continuing to develop the “Behavioral Medicine Toolkit” for residents to use during patient encounters. During the BM/CODA Rotation, you will be expected to select a topic and develop a Toolkit section on that subject. Your section is due before the end of the rotation, and you will be expected to present it during the last Wednesday Case Conference of the BM/CODA rotation. Completion of the Toolkit assignment is required to pass the rotation. The Toolkit includes many behavioral health issues, each of which has general clinical guidelines, community resource informational fliers, and patient education materials that are likely to be useful in encounters with patients with these problems or issues. Each Toolkit topic must include the following four elements: a. Diagnostic algorithms or differential diagnosis, what providers should look for b. Treatment recommendations or “tips” c. Patient Education handout d. Community resources
